he Volunteer allows the Thistle five Sec

The work about the Thistle today was con-
fined to laying good substantial foundation
for the patent paint which is to be put on
late this afternoon and early tomorrow. The
vessels bottom was well dried and sand-pa-
pered this morning. and Designer Watson,
who Is experimenting the operation, pro-
nounced himself satisfied with the efforts Of
the workmen. Mr.. Bell has not yet taken a
look at the Volunteer out Of water. He is
very anxious to inspect her lines, his friends
say, but he will not do so unless regularly
invited by General Paine. The latter, 1t Is
understood, will send an invitation TO Mr..
Bell this evening. In return, it is very
likely that Mr.. Bell will invite General
Paine to visit the Thistle

to designer Watson that the Thistle requires
some slight alterations about her deck. Chief
OF these is the building of high hatch comb

further forward or taken away altogether, to

the services of Sandy Hook pilot, provid-
ing the latter consents to allow the skipper
to use his judgment.
Joe Ellsworth went aboard the Volunteer
to-day and had a long talk with General
Paine and Edward Burgess. The result is
that the Bayonne Oysterman Is TO sail the
champion in the races. Capt. Half and Joe
Ellsworth are the best of friends, the latter
having recommended the Captain to General
Paine. Capt. Half will assist Joe Ellsworth
in the handling Of the vessel, and their fond
ness for each other will prevent any i'll
feeling and misunderstanding, once the
starting line has been crossed.
